P3 Medical Gas Manifolds
P3 Medical Gas Manifolds
A manifold is where medical gas cylinders connect to the pipeline. It serves as the primary source in smaller facilities, or as a reserve and emergency source alongside a liquid oxygen tank or generator. P3 manufactures a UK-made manifold family covering several operating roles.
What is it?
A manifold includes cylinder tailpipes with connections to suit local requirements, a multi-stage regulator for accurate control up to 500 l/min, pressure switches pre-wired to a termination box for the central alarm system, and an isolation and pressure relief valve assembly with copper stubs for the distribution and exhaust pipelines.
Features
- Available configurations: manual manifold, emergency reserve manifold and emergency standby manifold
- Multi-stage regulator for accurate control up to 500 l/min
- Pressure switches pre-wired to a termination box for the central alarm system
- 2 × 1 and 2 × 2 configurations as standard on the emergency versions, larger sizes on request
- Isolation and pressure relief valve assembly with copper stubs for distribution and exhaust
- Meets the requirements of HTM 02-01 and HTM 2022 for medical gas pipeline systems
- Products from this brand are available according to project requirements and availability.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the reserve and standby manifolds?
The reserve manifold has pressure switches on each cylinder bank, while the emergency standby manifold has a pressure switch on the header. The operating role of each is set in the project specification.
